Orange has Ganesh do what his fans want him to

Golden Star Ganesh’s release this week, Orange, is his second collaboration with filmmaker Prashant Raj. And what makes it extra special, he says, is that Prashant has packaged it as a complete family entertainer. “The first thing that strikes you about a film by Prashant is how colourful it is onscreen. Orange will be no different and deals with family drama, fun and emotion, with loads of entertainment,” says Ganesh. In the film, the actor plays a modern-day Robin Hood, who works for the betterment of the poor.

“It is very difficult to condense the story of Orange into a one-liner. This is a film that Prashant has written for me, as a fan of Golden Star Ganesh. So, a lot of what unfolds onscreen is what he believes a fan would want to see me do. What’s most interesting about the script is how much confusion prevails among the characters. Only the audience will know what is unfolding,” says Ganesh, adding, “The film will be paisa vasool for audiences, especially the second half, which is a complete laughter riot.”

Orange also introduces a new pair to Kannada cinema in the form of Ganesh and Priya Anand. “She is a very intelligent actress and was quite involved in the film making process. Instead of returning to her vanity van after her sequences, she would hang around with the team to understand the rest of the scene and the film in totality. That was nice of her,” he signs off.
